As stupid as this series is, if there is one thing i'm amazed by, is how good the villain are. They are villain because they are evil and they could do evil. No "I'm an established evil guy but my empire went down becuase of those nosy kids who can't keep their hands."
Azel is no villain, he is just an idiot, but Elad on the other hand. You would definitely believe he is a villain with power.
